Abstract
A mounting system for placement of an embroidery hoop having inner and outer rings includes a flat base having orthogonally related columns and rows of apertures therethrough, mounting brackets and eccentrics. The brackets and eccentrics are mounted to the base in positions to locate and confine the hoop. The base includes index marks for aligning the article to be embroidered relative to the base and to the hoop. When the article is aligned on the base, the inner ring of the hoop is applied to engage portions of the material of the article between the outer and inner rings with the material spanning the inner ring being maintained taut. Different sized bases are provided for embroidering various sizes of different articles.
